Enter the name of the program into the Name box. It doesn't really matter what you put into this box, but something that will
remind you why these ports are being forwarded would be a good idea.

Use the Type drop down box to select the protocol type of the ports you are opening.

If you need to allow a single port, enter that port number into the Start Port and the Finish Port boxes. If you need to allow a range
of ports, enter the lowest number of that range into the Start Port box. Then enter the highest number of that range into the Finish Port box.

When you are finished, click the Save button.

Click the Advanced link near the left side of the page.

Click the Firewall Rules link near the center of the page.

Click the Incoming Rules Add button near the center of the page.

Select service you created from the Service drop down box.

Select ALLOW always from the Action drop down box.

Select your computer from the Send to LAN Server drop down box.

Select Any from the WAN Users drop down box.

Select Never from the Log drop down box.

When you are finished, click the Save button.

And that is it! You are done!

To test if your port has been properly opened, you can use our Port Checker tool.
